Tems’ Classy Comeback to Maduka Okoye Dating Question at BET Awards
At the 2026 BET Awards red carpet, Grammy winner Tems was asked if she would “shoot her shot” at rising Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. She smiled and replied, “I wish I did. We don’t shoot shots over here. We friend each other and we are family, sisters and brothers.” The question came amid Okoye’s viral rise after his pre-match walk for Nigeria’s friendly against Portugal, which boosted his global following and made him a viral sensation. Earlier that night, Tems joined rapper Tierra Whack to cover the Fugees’ classic “Fu-Gee-La” in honour of Lauryn Hill. Her poised response has won praise online for its humour and dignity.
